Abstract: Numerical results of plane-strain strip drawing are presented emphasizing the interfacial friction conditions between workmaterial and drawing die. The results are based on a large-strain elasto-plastic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for the simultaneous product and process design of components manufactured in small and medium lot-sizes. A key aspect of this methodology is to ensure that ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new model building methodology which, given a detailed mechanistic model of a task, can optimally produce a set of models with layered abstraction according to the user’s ...

Abstract: A model for integrating multiple sources of knowledge within engineering expert systems is presented. It allows possible conflicts between multiple knowledge sources to be logically resolved at ...

Abstract: A simulation model is developed to study the dynamic characteristics of intermittent turning operations. Factors such as chip load, free-vibration of the toolpost structure, and nonhomogeneous ...

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology which employs computer simulation to dynamically generate the topography of a surface machined during an intermittent turning process. The methodology is based ...
